HES had a couple of assistant principals this morning! Hayden Mein and Blake Vogt Jr. earned this by purchasing coupons from the school store with their positive behavior points. They supported a couple of students with their recess behavior, passed out yearbooks and field day shirts, and also helped out in the cafe with lunch! #GameOnRailers
HES Families: We have a few extra yearbooks for sale in the HES office! The price for each yearbook is $10. A huge thank you to Miss Heitfield for her hard work with putting together a wonderful yearbook. If you preordered a yearbook it will be sent home with your student today. Please reach out to the office at 785-258-3234 if you would like to purchase a yearbook. Supplies are limited! #GameOnRailers
